Here's another way of doing this, with much less work:

You'll need two Macs for this version, but anyone who has the technical knowledge to be following either the original hint or this tip should know how to adjust it for use from just one Mac. (Hint: temporarily disable Time Machine.)

1) Put Mac #1 to sleep. This is to prevent Time Machine on Mac #1 from attempting a backup while we are violating its backupdb.
2) Fire up Terminal on Mac #1 and cd to your Time Capsule share.
3) Enter: [code]hdiutil resize -size 300g Mac#1_01234abcde.sparsebundle[/code]

This should get the goal of the original hint done, but without destroying your existing backups and without having to mess with choosing the right volume.

Step two should refer to Mac #2, not Mac #1 (since Mac #1 is asleep).

Oops. :-) There's a Preview button for a reason, I guess...

sorry for not reading your comment before commenting myself.
In fact you don't need a second mac to do this, only to stop TM (see my own post below yours)
